Ashes and Steel

A witch marked by fire. A Fae bound by blood. Two worlds on the edge of collapse.

In Halewyck, witches are hunted, burned, and broken for daring to speak. Joanna hides her power beneath ash and silence, surviving in a town that delights in executions. In Caerthwyn, the Fae rule through cruelty and manipulation, their court a pit of corruption where loyalty is currency and lives are tools. Morgan is a blade in their hands. A hunter of witches, bonded by blood and oath to a throne that rots from the inside.

They shouldn't know each other.
They shouldn't dream of each other.
But across realms and realities, something ancient stirs; a tether, a soultie neither asked for and neither can break.

Their connection is forbidden. Dangerous. Fated.

It could spark war between worlds... or destroy them both.

This isn't a story of love.
It's a story of survival; of what remains when the old powers fall and the factionless rise.

One is Witchmarked.
One is Factionless.
And their connection will change everything.
